Strawbery Banke

Experience daily life across four centuries at Strawbery Banke Museum. Explore the historic homes. Come inside the restored and furnished buildings and experience New England life from 1695 through the 1950s. From elegant mansions to the homes of working class immigrants, from notable taverns where George Washington passed through, to a local corner store facing the challenges of war-time rationing, the stories of America unfold at Strawbery Banke.

Stroll the lanes and landscapes. From Colonial-era kitchen gardens to formal Victorian gardens and from a 1940s Victory garden to a series of teaching gardens, the museum's historic landscapes tell the fascinating stories of one of America's oldest waterfront neighborhoods.

Meet the people. Knowledgeable guides and costumed role-players bring history to life. See history in action. Watch live demonstrations of coopering, hearth cooking, and other daily-life activities.

Experience hands-on history. Learn by doing at the interactive Discovery Center. Kids of all ages can experience traditional games, crafts, chores, and pastimes in the dynamic educational center. Open daily 10am to 5pm from May 1 - October 31. www.StrawberyBanke.org or call 603-433-1100 for more information.
